Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 96: The Steward

After a while, Wu Juan came over with steamed buns and dishes.

He Lai also took the steamed bun and started eating it.

"Eat slowly. No one is going to snatch it from you. Yu Shui, give it to me. If you don't eat it now, your brother will finish it all." Wu Juan scolded with a smile and handed a steamed bun to Yu Shui.

"Thank you, mother." Yu Shui also took it and started eating.

"How did you do in the exam?" Today happened to be Sunday, so Wu Juan was the first to ask about it.

"It's lonely without an opponent." He Lai swallowed a mouthful of food and said this.

"Speak properly. I don't know who taught you that. You just talk nonsense every day." Wu Juan patted He Lai lightly, knowing that her son must have good grades.

"Yu Shui, what about you? Bring your report card to me." Wu Juan turned and asked Yu Shui.

Yu Shui also obediently took out the report card from his schoolbag.

When Wu Juan saw that all the marks were 5, she knew that Yu Shui’s grades were also very good, after all, she had often seen He Lai’s report cards before.

"Huai Ru, look, look, our Yu Shui will definitely become a high-ranking official in the future."

Wu Juan smiled and handed the report card to Qin Huairu, then hugged Yu Shui and helped her pick up some food.

Qin Huairu also took it and started reading it, her face full of joy.

"Mom, I can be one, too. How about you pick some food for me?"

"I see that you are just itching for a beating and want your mother to beat you up every day." Wu Juan is a complete hypocrite.

In this way, several people were playing happily.

In the afternoon, Director Wang from the Military Control Commission came with his men and notified everyone to attend the meeting.

Everyone in the compound quickly gathered in the middle courtyard.

Director Wang spoke when he saw that most people had arrived.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet for a moment and look at each other to see if everyone is here."

"Director Wang, my son Zhuzi has gone to prepare a banquet. He will probably be back quite late." Qin Huairu raised her hand and spoke.

"It's okay, it's okay, just let me know when the time comes."

After Director Wang finished speaking, he looked at everyone again, and when he saw that no one spoke, he continued speaking.

"The reason I called everyone here today is to tell you something. Some of you may already know something.

The Military Control Commission has been abolished. From now on, we will set up a street office in Nanluoguxiang to be responsible for some matters in everyone's life.

Of course, the task of preventing enemy agents must continue. I hope everyone will remain vigilant and report any situation to the subdistrict office."

The people below also started discussing.

Director Wang looked at it and continued, “Okay, everyone, now that the meeting is over, let’s discuss it again. Next, let’s talk about the next thing.

In order to facilitate future management and convey relevant policies, the street office decided to adopt the uncle system, that is, the uncle in charge.

What is the uncle system? Each compound elects a representative to assist the street office in completing its work better.

Our compound is a three-story quadrangle with three large courtyards: front, middle, and back, and has nearly a hundred people.

So the subdistrict office decided to select three uncles from our courtyard to be in charge of the three courtyards. "

As soon as Director Wang finished speaking, everyone started discussing again.

Director Wang saw that everyone had almost finished discussing the matter and spoke again.

"Okay, okay, this is Secretary Sun, who is mainly responsible for coordinating matters with your compound. Let's all get to know each other. Little Sun, come out and say hello."

A young man behind Director Wang came out and bowed: "Hello everyone, I am Director Sun. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to the Street Office to find me. I will do my best to help you. Thank you."

Everyone applauded.

Director Wang waved his hand again.

"Let's continue talking about this uncle. What does he mainly do?

The first thing, as I just said, is to convey the relevant policies to everyone so that everyone can know what the government has done.

The second is to be responsible for coordinating neighborhood disputes. Bumps and bruises are inevitable in everyone’s life, and at this time someone is needed to come out and coordinate.

Of course, if it involves legal issues, please report to the street office or police station.

Third, it's a commonplace, enemy agents! Now that the country has just stabilized, there are still many enemy agents active everywhere, so someone is needed to organize everyone to take precautions.

Well, that's all. If you want to be one, you can come and sign up. If there are many people, we can hold an election.

Of course, this old man does not receive any salary or subsidies, and his labor is voluntary.”

Everyone started discussing again. Actually, not many people wanted to be the boss. It was a thankless job. Everyone wanted to see who wanted to be the boss and whether it would affect them.

He Lai quietly came to the side of Liu Haizhong.

"Uncle Liu, I want to be the boss, that's so impressive." He Lai said softly.

"Don't make a fuss. Give it to Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu will agree to whatever you ask for."

Liu Haizhong was eager to become the official, after all, he was already a minor official in the factory. He had to have his own position in the factory.

Liu Haizhong went to sign up after he finished speaking, and the others in the backyard had no objection. After all, they all saw He Lai go over to chat.

Not long after, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Fugui also went to sign up.

Yi Zhonghai Intermediate Court had no major objections. Most of the people in the front yard were new arrivals, and the remaining elderly people were unwilling to be the old men. In addition, Yan Fugui was a teacher, and his children would need him when they went to school, so no one objected.

Just like that, Director Wang announced that Liu Haizhong would be the boss of the backyard, Yi Zhonghai would be the boss of the middle yard, and Yan Fugui would be the boss of the front yard.

"Okay, let's adjourn the meeting. Please stay for a moment, gentlemen. I have a few more instructions."

Director Wang spoke, and everyone dispersed. Yi Zhonghai invited everyone into his room.

He family

"I want to be a boss too!" He Lai pretended to sigh.

"I think you are dreaming! You little brat is always talking nonsense." Wu Juan scolded with a smile.

"Xiao Laizi, why don't you go and choose? I guess many people will choose you." Qin Huairu joked.

"Yeah! I think so too." When He Lai saw Qin Huairu's response, he immediately became arrogant again.

When Wu Juan saw that the situation was not right, she threw away the rain, pulled He Lai over, and started beating him on the butt.

"I'll let you want to be, I'll let you want to be, ..."

"Mom, I don't want to be a mother anymore. I don't want to be a mother anymore. Please stop hitting me..."

……

Yi Family

Yi Zhonghai sat and thought about his uncle's affairs. There was only one at first, but now there are three.

Moreover, after several previous incidents, his prestige in the yard was getting lower and lower.

I have to find a way to improve my reputation.

Liu Family

Liu Haizhong was extremely happy today, and he stood up in the yard from now on.

Drinking some wine and singing some songs, I began to imagine others being respectful to me.

Yan Family

"Old Yan, why do you want to be this thankless uncle with no salary or anything?" Aunt Yan complained while hugging Yan Jiedi.

"What do you know, you are just a woman! We have a big family and we don't have enough food now. We have to save some.

If I become the boss, I can stand up again in the compound, and others will respect us.

Besides, I heard that primary schools will be integrated soon. By then, we will all go to primary school in the same place, and I will be transferred back.

By then, the kids in the compound will have to rely on me. How can I get less benefits by then?"

Yan Fugui also explained slowly.

"That has nothing to do with me!"

"You are stupid, only with the identity of the master can I approach them openly, do you understand?

When the time comes, I will use my status as the master to take control of the gate as well. All the people coming in and out will be controlled by us. How can there be less benefits?"

"Yes, it's still you, Old Yan, who has the solution." Aunt Yan also became happy.

"You can eat well and wear well, but if you fail to plan well, you will be poor..."
